Diamonds In The Asphalt Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

CI gave you a band of silver

 There was no diamond rFing

Said: "Baby where we're going

 got no use for such thCings"

You will find all the gems

 that you could want right hFere

On the interstates and highways

 80,000 miles a yCear.

Chorus

CThere are diamonds in the asphalt

 Ain't that what they sGay

Ain't that why the blacktop

 Glitters in that wCay

There's many a fool's follow it

 to the ends of their dFays

 It's not their faGult

Blame it on false promises

 And the diamonds in the aspChalt

Verse 2

CYou were always searchin'

 for some treasure you don't fiFnd

I have followed you this far

 But, I don't mCind

May - be - sometimes

 we must carry a heavy loFad

we get richer with every mile

 that we drive along this rCoad [CHORUS]

Solo

- same chords as Chorus

Verse 3

CWe have come so far

 Still we have so far to gFo

I hope to God, that someone

 Will be coming to this sChow

And the babies are cryin'

 And I feel like cryin' tFoo

But it's too late to turn back now

 Even if we wanted tCoo [CHORUS]

OUTTRO

GYeah blame it on false promises

 and the diamonds in the aspChalt
